What happened in 2025

We ran the first Technical AI Governance Forum in summer 2025 in partnership with the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative. The figures below are from the post-event attendee survey.

  • 150+ attendees and 20+ speakers across two days in London.
  • 7.8 new connections per attendee — 57% of them rated close enough to ask a professional favour.
  • 86.5% said their time was better spent here than on the next thing they would have done.
  • 21% valued the two days at more than ten times their next-best use of the same time.

What to expect in 2026

Two days at Prince Philip House on 14–15 November 2026, built for collisions rather than broadcast: everything except the evening social sits on one floor.

  • Three focus areas — trustworthy auditing, verifiable AI, and AI R&D automation.
  • Keynotes and anchor talks in the main theatre.
  • Workshops running alongside the talks.
  • A poster hall and organisation fair directly across from the theatre, with founder pitches to funders over lunch and bookable 1:1 office hours.
  • A curated room — attendance is by application, with the audience deliberately curated for experience, influence and cross-sector perspective.
